Community Ownership Pilot — Proposal
A Community Ownership Pathway for Organizations & Their Members
MDRRI has developed a regenerative land ownership education model designed to bring resources directly to community organizations and their members — building real wealth through land access, education, and action.
What This Is
- ✓A structured, 7-step ownership roadmap with clear guardrails and action checklists
- ✓Educational resources designed for community organizations and their members
- ✓A model that centers community wealth-building and land access
Why This Model
Black and Indigenous communities have faced systemic barriers to land ownership for generations. MDRRI was built to change that — offering a replicable, community-centered campus model that trains new farmers, builds local food systems, and creates real ownership pathways. This model is designed for any organization ready to bring these resources to their members.
